I've avoided Django on AppEngine due to the vagaries of the AE datastore, and the extra time and planning it takes to get things working efficiently; I'm wary about using any framework not specifically designed for AE. Fortunately the webapp 'framework' that comes with AE is quite usable, though not exactly feature-packed. Perhaps I'll look at Django on AE again in the future, once I have a better understanding of how to build things correctly. EDIT: I don't think the advent of App Engine should have a major effect on Django development; my general thought when developing AE projects is to wish I was using a real server, one under my full control.

I have tried Django on AppEngine using AppEngine Patch, but at this point, I don't think it is worth it till Django has non-relational database support. If I were to build something on AE right now, I will try Flask or Kay.

  Have you tried Django Appengine?[1] It works pretty well and supports most things in django (including the admin interface). [1] http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/projects/djangoappengine http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/projects/djangoappengine

    I haven't, but I am not currently doing anything major on GAE right now.

    I had wondered whether that works, I'll have a look at it for the next job. Anything with a working admin system will make my day.
